It has been already obferved in the courfe of the 
prefent work, that the foramina which frequently 
appear in fome of the larger globofe Madrepores, 
are not always owing to the natural ftmAure of the 
coral, but rather to the operation of fome other 
animal, which thus forms itfelf a habitation in the 
madrepore. Of this a curious inftance has been ob¬ 
ferved by the ingenious Mr. Home, whofe memoir 
on this fubject may be feen in the feventy-fifth
